    Abstract: The latching device can be mounted in an aperture formed in a door panel (100) for releasably retaining the door against a corresponding frame (110). In use, a housing (14) of the device is received within the door panel aperture and the housing is formed with its distal end conical in shape which allows a mounting nut (52) to be mounted over a pawl assembly when received in the door panel aperture. A drive member (12) is received within an axial bore formed in the housing for rotational movement within the housing by an operator. A pawl (18) is secured to the drive member which rotates by rotation of the drive member for engaging the frame in a secured position. A spring (16) is engaged between the housing (14) and the pawl (18) to provide a frictional resistance upon the drive member on its rotational movement in the housing. A channel (32) limits rotation of the pawl.

    Abstract: A pawl assembly is adapted for being mounted in an aperture formed in a door panel for releasably retaining the door against a corresponding frame. The pawl assembly includes as portions thereof a housing which is received within the door panel aperture. The housing is formed having its distal end being conical in shape which allows a mounting nut to be mounted onto the pawl assembly when received in the door panel aperture. A drive member is included which is received within an axial bore formed in the housing and is adapted for rotational movement by an operator. A pawl is secured to the drive member in only one orientation of the pawl in relation to the drive member. The drive member rotation is limited by a protruding member which extends from the housing and into the drive member. The drive member is also included with a flange which is sized at least to completely cover the top of housing which provides a seal for restricting the passage of water, dust and other matter. A biasing member is also included which provides a frictional resistance upon the drive member on its rotational movement and also operates as a detent for releasably retaining the pawl assembly in its fully unlatched and fully latched positions.

The pawl assembly includes as portions thereof a housing which is received within the door panel aperture. The housing is formed having its distal end being conical in shape which allows a mounting nut to be mounted onto the pawl assembly when received in the door panel aperture. A drive member is included which is received within an axial bore formed in the housing and is adapted for rotational movement within the housing by an operator. A pawl is secured to the drive member which rotates by rotation of the drive member for engaging the frame in a secured position. The pawl is receivable onto the drive member in only one orientation of the pawl in relation to the drive member. The drive member rotation is limited by a protruding member which extends from the housing and into the drive member during operation. The drive member is also included with a flange which is sized at least to completely cover the top of housing during installation which provides a seal for restricting the passage of water, dust and other matter through the latch. A biasing member is also included which provides a frictional resistance upon the drive member on its rotational movement in the housing. The biasing member also operates as a detent for releasably retaining the pawl assembly in its fully unlatched and fully latched positions.

    Abstract: A slide fastener for securing cabinet doors or enclosures for communications transmission and switching equipment is comprised of at least one locking slide bar operatively connected to a spring biased pivoting lever assembly which locks and unlocks the cabinet door by simultaneously engaging/disengaging the locking slide bar with a slide bar keeper secured to the cabinet door frame. The lever assembly may be secured in the locked or closed position by a cam operated catch that is releasable upon the application of force against a button that is integral with the housing of the slide fastener. An electrical grounding pad may be optionally provided to prevent damage or injury from static discharge.

    Abstract: A slide fastener secures a door of an electrical cabinet to the cabinet frame. The slide fastener releaseably retains the door against the frame when the door and the frame are latched together. The slide fastener includes a door assembly 10 secured to the door and keepers 98 attached to the frame. The door assembly includes a lever assembly 50 and a slide assembly 80. The lever assembly is rotatable between an open position and a closed position and engages and slides the slide assembly so that locking elements 94 on the slide assembly engage beneath keepers 98.
